NZeder Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 evidence? what evidence? That is some local humour. D.o.C = Department of Conservation ie they look after all the rare and protected plants, birds etc. The Takahe is such a bird and a D.o.C staff member shot one thinking it was one of the other native birds that is not on the rare list. google "doc Takahe shot" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 any updates? i hear that the rental company that supplied the building crane to hoist the turbo the first time is having trouble with rescheduling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPSNZ Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Update: Not a hell of a lot happening in the last few days, been pretty busy with other things but we've started the exhaust manifold and stripped the whole front off the car to give it all a general tidy up. We raised the turbo a little more so the intake is now 1/2 below, 1/2 above the bonnet line now, this was so we could go to the GT47 later if we need to, we'll make a nice concave scoop to give a full open mouth to the turbo.
